General Surgeon 's  Response
hi.

noted chest x-ray results. are you experiencing any respiratory tract symptoms? do you have exposure to any chemicals in your environment? suspicious infiltrates may be suggestive of an infectious process (such as pneumonia, tuberculosis, etc.). other things must also be ruled-out (asbestosis, silicosis, etc). additional view (apico-lordotic) is suggested for confirmation and further evaluation. the rest of the structures are normal. it is best to consult with a doctor for physical examination and clinical evaluation. diagnostics and management will be directed accordingly.

hope this helps.

good day!!
